Between 1987 and 1991, together with Marc LAMBRECHT, David MATARASSO and Robert NEEFS, I worked for an independent radio station in Brussels.

"Elle Adore Le Noir" (She Loves the Black) was dedicated to Belgian bands but due to the raise of New Beat in 1988, we decided to widen our musical range ... to the world. "Much More Music" broadcasts all alternative bands.

Thanks to our work on radio, we had the opportunity to meet new bands seeking for advice, concerts, and sleeve designs.

We decided to create a management agency to help these bands to go further. SW AGENCY was born.

Our main collaboration was with INLANDSIS, we worked on their demo tape and present it to various records companies and were able to put one of their tracks on a promo CD presented at Cannes' Midem in 1992.

Unfortunately, economic reasons and "real" job opportunities forced us to drop the agency. Since then, I am still active with MODERN CUBISM, PARADE GROUND, L.A. WORK and others.
